CANU awaiting images of scrap metal container

The Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit (CANU) is waiting on the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) to provide the recently retrieved scanned images of the container which carried the 11.5 tonnes of cocaine that was discovered in Belgium in November.

The images had been deleted from the GRA’s system and this is being probed. In the meantime, CANU Head James Singh said the investigation into the matter is continuing.

It is suspected that the images were either deleted by GRA employees who were on duty at the port on the day when the shipment departed Guyana.
